The Philippines has denied the applications of Oman Air and India’s Jet Airways to fly to Manila, owing to the limited capacity of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).
“We are denying foreign airlines, such as Oman and Jet Airways…” an unnamed source at the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) was quoted as saying by ‘The Philippine Star’ on Tuesday. “It is not that the market is becoming less vibrant. It is due to the infrastructure.”
Oman Air and Jet Airways had filed separate applications with the CAB for the issuance of Foreign Air Carrier’s Permit (FACP), in order that they could operate international scheduled air transportation services to and from the Philippines.
Spring Airlines Co Ltd, which is based in China, is also reportedly seeking a similar permit from the Philippine government.
Having started operations in 1993, Oman Air, the flagship company of the Sultanate of Oman’s Civil Aviation sector, now has a fleet of 15 Boeing 737-800, seven Airbus A330, and four Embraer E-175. Spring Airlines operates 33 Airbus A320 aircraft.
